April 1st - One this day, Doug proposed to Rebbie at their college... She accepted, and Doug could not be happier. He thoroughly planned the proposal to make it extra special... until he realized too late that it was April Fool`s Day. Upon realizing this, Doug said, "Let me take the ring back and do the proposal again tomorrow." Rebbie replied, "I have the ring, and you`re not getting it back." Reb`s cousin told her it was a perfect day to propose (as it was her cousin`s birthday).

Rep. Rob Kauffman and I had an outstanding tour today to discuss the restoration and expansion of the Franklin County Historical Society’s headquarters in downtown Chambersburg, known as the “Old Jail.” What a fascinating piece of Pennsylvania history!
